Saw Iiro play this solo yesterday live in Vaasa. He dedicated it to Pekka Pohjola and a friend of his that had passed away the day before. Very strong and bitter sweet, and ovbiously great playing!
This is truly one of the most awe-inspiring jazz performances I have ever heard, and a true homage to Pohjola and his art. I truly adore this piece. Simply superb, fantastic work, Rantala, Marzi and Zenger, truly magical!!
@paulconroy415 I think a band like this.. is a band like no other and needs no additions or replacements. I hope they get together at some point later in their careers again and can still find some of the magic we see in this and many of the other videos of them performing.
Oh shit, Rantala owns. I'm proud of being a pianist from the same country as him. About these songs (Chic from Corea, Viking 69) is there a new album coming out?
A fine tribute to Pekka ,he was an excellent musician & deserved more attention than he got, at least here in the States.

Awesome.
I'm a fan of both Pekka Pohjola and Iiro Rantala, and I also have seen Marzi Nyman covering Pekka's music this summer... great.

gozamite Correct.
gozamite Correct.
♥♪♫!!!
reminds me of Debussy's "Clair de Lune"
Tuulen huminaa,sihinää ..ja Pekka Pohjola? ..yes it makes sense. P.Pohjolan biiseistä tulee mieleen jotenkin tuulen humina suomalaisessa metsässä..
I think a band like this would be that much better with a guy like Mike Patton.
Elmo
